    the Hardcover book (ISBN: 9788831639149) is now for sale: here you are two links where you can buy it. Pay attention as it's in full English and I think they won't ship it outside Italy. Next week it will be avalable also the softcover edition (58 euro tag price, means 49,3 euro with the standard 15% off) that will be available for Worldwide shipping (also on Amazon site).

    If you want a signed copy, please contact me via PM

    Synopsis:

    This book tells the story of the four eight-cylinder turbo-charged road Ferrari of the 80's: from the 208 turbo to the F40; with references to the Formula 1 cars from which these models derived. Apart from the stories, it includes over 300 colour, as well as black and white, images. The story begins with the origins of the eight-cylinder Ferrari range, and their evolution - explaining the reasons that led to the supercharged models through anecdotes, recollections from some of the people directly involved in the developments, and the Author's personal memories of the era and its cars. It goes on to describe, with detailed information and images, the turbocharged road Ferrari of the 80's, in particular the two-litre versions. The story is enriched by original interviews with many of the experts who were involved, in various ways, in the realization of these cars - including the legendary Engineer Mauro Forghieri, and a comment from the era by Commendatore Enzo Ferrari himself. The book concludes with a "purchase guide" for these models (with particular reference to the two-litre versions) and a brief mention of the current Ferrari models which feature a turbocharged eight-cylinder mid-rear engine.

    Would like to buy a copy to learn about Ferrari turbo V8 development, as I'm currently now enjoying the first modern ME V8 turbo from Ferrari :)

    Bookseller Gilena sells it for 60 Euros, despite a printed price of Euro 125 on the back...………..

    I just received and read this book today. Congratulations to Alberto for bringing this labor of love to fruition. I found this book to be very enjoyable and informative, as it is about a subject that until now has not received the attention it deserves. This particular book contains many interesting insights about these cars both anecdotal and empirical. It is not often that I read a new book on Ferrari where I feel that I have gained any new insight on the subject, so hat's off to Alberto for his excellent work.

    Alberto, are there any hardcover English versions available on Amazon? I tried to find a copy but they only show softcover. Regards, Andrew (btw, photo up on other link of the Dino engine cover on my wall as requested!).
